The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 191: "Appointment for a Competition, Emerging Talents"

The sun shines on the broad square of the sect, as if a golden carpet has been laid on the ground. Today, the place is very lively, and the new disciple competition held in the sect has attracted many eyes. The disciples are dressed in neat clothes, and their expressions are either excited or nervous. The elders sit on the high platform, watching the whole scene with dignity and solemnity.

Yun Yao stood in the crowd, her eyes firm and bright. She signed up for the competition without hesitation. For her, this was not only a test of strength, but also a great opportunity for her to prove herself to the entire sect. After traveling through time and space, she had come step by step from the predicament of the palace to where she is today. Every challenge was an opportunity for growth. She would not miss any opportunity to make herself stronger and be recognized by everyone.

Chu Mochen also stood in the ranks of participating disciples, his stern face was calm, but his eyes revealed a determination to win. As a prince of a neighboring country, he was born with pride. In this competition, he wanted to show everyone his powerful strength and convince those who had looked down on him.

The competition began, and the square was immediately filled with a tense atmosphere. Yun Yao's first opponent was a burly male disciple who was holding a big knife and looked aggressive. However, Yun Yao was not afraid at all. She walked lightly onto the competition stage, like a smart little deer.

At the beginning of the battle, the male disciple swung his sword and slashed at Yun Yao like a gust of wind. Each of his swords carried great power, as if he wanted to quickly defeat Yun Yao with his brute force. But Yun Yao's figure was like a ghost, skillfully moving in the sword light. She used the special ability given by the system to predict the opponent's attack direction in advance, and with her flexible steps, she easily avoided the attacks again and again.

The audience held their breath. They thought Yun Yao would be defeated quickly by this fierce attack, but they didn't expect her to deal with it so easily. Just when the male disciple's attack gradually became chaotic, Yun Yao saw the opportunity, flashed, and quickly approached the opponent. An exquisite short sword appeared in her hand. This was a magic weapon she obtained during her adventure in the secular country. Although it looked ordinary, it had a unique power.

Yun Yao swung the dagger, and spiritual power surged from the blade, turning into light and shadows, winding around the male disciple like a spirit snake. The male disciple was horrified and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The light and shadow hit his body, and although it did not cause much damage, it made his movements slow down. Yun Yao took advantage of the victory and pursued. Her figure turned into a gust of wind, spinning rapidly around the male disciple, and the dagger kept swinging around him, and each swing brought a wave of spiritual power.

Finally, under Yun Yao's series of dazzling attacks, the male disciple could not hold on and was defeated. There was a burst of warm applause and cheers from the audience. Yun Yao's wonderful performance opened their eyes.

In the next few competitions, Yun Yao continued to perform well. Facing different opponents, she could quickly analyze the opponent's fighting style and weaknesses. There was a female disciple who was good at using spells. She could summon various elemental forces to attack. Yun Yao cleverly used the obstacles in the field during the battle to avoid those elemental attacks. She found that the female disciple would have a short period of spiritual power emptiness after continuously casting large spells, so she deliberately lured the female disciple to continuously cast powerful spells.

When the female disciple cast another powerful fire storm, Yun Yao seized the opportunity and rushed towards the female disciple like lightning. When she was close to the female disciple, she cast a defensive spell to block the last hasty attack of the female disciple, and then put the dagger against the female disciple's throat, winning the competition.

As the competition progressed, Yun Yao's reputation became more and more famous in the sect. Her unique fighting skills and flexible fighting style became a topic of discussion among the disciples. Some disciples who originally looked down on her also began to look at her with new eyes, their eyes full of admiration.

Chu Mochen also performed very well in the competition on the other side. His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every strike of his sword was as bright as a meteor. When facing an opponent, he could always find the opponent's flaws within a few moves, and then defeat the opponent with thunder. His cold temperament and strong strength made many female disciples blush and their hearts beat fast, and he became the focus of their eyes.

After several rounds of competition, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen successfully entered the finals. At this time, the remaining disciples were all outstanding elites in the sect, and each competition was more intense and difficult.

Yun Yao encountered a tough opponent in the semi-finals. This opponent was a disciple who practiced a special technique. His body could become virtual to a certain extent, and ordinary attacks had almost no effect on him. Yun Yao's initial attacks all passed through his body without causing any damage, which put her in a short dilemma.

But Yun Yao did not panic. She calmed down and carefully observed the opponent's actions. She found that every time the opponent's body was virtualized to dodge, there would be a very short moment when the body was materialized again. Yun Yao guessed that this might be the key node of his transformation from virtual to materialized, and also his flaw.

So, Yun Yao changed her tactics. She no longer attacked blindly, but deliberately slowed down her attack rhythm, luring her opponent to frequently become virtual and material. At the same time, she quietly concentrated her spiritual power on the dagger, causing it to emit a faint light.

When the opponent once again evaded Yun Yao's feint by illusory body, Yun Yao attacked with all her strength at the moment when his physical body flickered slightly. The dagger in her hand, with powerful spiritual power, stabbed at the opponent like a flash of lightning. This time, the dagger hit the opponent accurately, and the powerful spiritual power burst out instantly, knocking the opponent away. Although the opponent was not seriously injured, he knew that he had lost because Yun Yao had found a way to restrain him.

On the other hand, Chu Mochen also defeated his opponent in the fierce semi-finals and successfully entered the finals. He and Yun Yao became the focus of this competition, and everyone was looking forward to their exciting duel in the finals.

The day of the finals finally arrived, and the square was already crowded with people. The elders on the high platform also showed their anticipation, they wanted to see which of the two young people who performed the best among the new disciples would win.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood on the competition stage, facing each other. Their eyes met, and they saw determination and fighting spirit in each other's eyes. At this time, they were no longer enemies who refused to give in to each other when they first met, but opponents who respected each other.

The competition began, and Chu Mochen took the lead in attacking. He drew his sword from its sheath, and a stream of sword energy shot towards Yun Yao like a rainbow piercing the sun. This sword energy contained powerful spiritual power, and the air was torn apart wherever it passed, making bursts of whistling sounds. Yun Yao did not dare to be careless, and she quickly cast a defensive spell, and a layer of spiritual power shield formed in front of her. The sword energy hit the shield, bursting out a dazzling light, and the powerful impact caused Yun Yao to slide back a few steps.

Before Yun Yao could stand firm, Chu Mochen's figure was approaching like a ghost. His swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, and each sword was fierce, as if he wanted to cover Yun Yao in the sword net. Yun Yao could only dodge continuously, and her figure flashed quickly on the competition stage, like a nimble flying bird.

While dodging, Yun Yao was also looking for Chu Mochen's flaws. She found that after Chu Mochen's continuous and rapid attacks, his swordsmanship would pause slightly. This was a very small flaw that was difficult to detect without careful observation.

Yun Yao decided to take a risk. She deliberately exposed a flaw and pretended to be cornered by Chu Mochen's attack. Seeing this, Chu Mochen's eyes flashed with doubt, but he did not miss this opportunity and stabbed Yun Yao's flaw with a sword. At the moment when the tip of the sword was about to pierce Yun Yao, Yun Yao's body suddenly disappeared. It turned out that she used the power of the system to cast a short-distance teleportation spell.

Chu Mochen was shocked, he knew he was fooled. But before he could react, Yun Yao had already appeared behind him. The short sword in Yun Yao's hand, with powerful spiritual power, stabbed Chu Mochen's back. Chu Mochen felt the danger behind him, he twisted his body forcefully and blocked Yun Yao's attack with his sword.

The two men's weapons collided, making a crisp sound of collision. The shock wave generated by the powerful spiritual power collision spread in all directions, blowing the clothes of the audience below the stage. Both of them were shocked back by this force, but their eyes were still fixed on each other, without any intention of retreating.

In the following battle, the two fought back and forth, and the battle became more and more intense. Yun Yao's dagger and Chu Mochen's sword kept colliding in the air, and each collision burst out a dazzling light. Their fighting styles were completely different. Yun Yao was flexible and varied, relying on the system's ability and her own wisdom to find opportunities; while Chu Mochen relied on his strong strength and superb swordsmanship to attack as defense.

As the battle continued, both of them consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but neither of them had the idea of giving up. The audience was attracted by this wonderful competition. They stared at the two people on the stage with shock in their hearts.

After a fierce collision, the two separated temporarily to adjust their states. Yun Yao's breathing was a little rapid. She could feel that her spiritual power was running out, but her eyes were still firm. Chu Mochen was the same. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his cold face also had a hint of fatigue.

At this moment, Yun Yao suddenly thought of a way. She decided to go all out and gather all her remaining spiritual power to launch the strongest attack. She began to silently circulate her spiritual power, and the dagger in her hand began to emit an increasingly strong light.

Chu Mochen sensed Yun Yao's change, and he knew that Yun Yao was about to launch the final attack. He did not dare to be careless, and concentrated all his energy to prepare for the response.

Yun Yao shouted loudly, and her body turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Chu Mochen. This time, her speed was faster than before, and the light on the dagger was as dazzling as the sun. Chu Mochen held the sword tightly, ready to meet Yun Yao's attack.

Just when Yun Yao was about to approach Chu Mochen, she suddenly changed direction and stabbed Chu Mochen at an extremely tricky angle. Chu Mochen was shocked. He did not expect Yun Yao to change the attack route at the last moment. But he was a powerful master after all. At the critical moment, he twisted his body forcefully and blocked Yun Yao's dagger with his sword.

However, Yun Yao's attack was too powerful. Although Chu Mochen blocked the attack, he was still knocked back by the powerful force. His body drew an arc in the air and landed heavily on the edge of the competition platform.

Yun Yao also knelt on one knee because of the exhaustion of spiritual power. She stared at Chu Mochen closely, waiting for him to stand up. Chu Mochen struggled to stand up, but he found that his body had been seriously injured and he could not get up for a while.

Finally, the referee announced Yun Yao's victory. Thunderous applause and cheers suddenly rang out in the square. Yun Yao won the competition with great difficulty and became the focus of everyone's attention. Her name was remembered by everyone in the sect at this moment. She proved her worth with her own strength.
